Great Thanksgiving Deserts

Even after everyone at your dinner table has had their fill of turkey and dressing this year at Thanksgiving, there’s always room for great Thanksgiving Deserts.

Pumpkin pie makes a great Thanksgiving dessert, and like many others is a traditional dessert found at most holiday dinner tables. Pumpkin pie is a relatively simple recipe, perfect for beginners wanting to start their own Thanksgiving meals. The pie crust should be baked separately, before the pie fill is added and then baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for almost an hour. A regular sized pumpkin pie will serve six to eight; depending on how big or small the slices are cut when served.

Free range fruitcakes are great Thanksgiving Deserts choices for those that don’t particularly care for the pies that are usually found on most holiday dinner tables. Fruitcakes are made of a nice variety of fruits; which include, but are not limited to; raisins, blueberries, cherries, apricots and currants with an array of spices to really add to the flavor of the cake when it is baked.
